Answer
So our solution is (3, -7)
Work Step by Step
The 2 Equations are:
1. y+2x=-1
2. y-3x=-16
First, subtract the second equation from the first equation. You get:
5x=15 (Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation)
x=3
Now plug this value of x into the first equation to find the value of y.
y+2(3)=-1
y+6=-1. (Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation)
y=-7
So our solution is (3, -7)
